Western hunters and their ultra magnums can use those thing because they sometimes have miles of trees between shooter and potential collateral damage, many miles of open land, and some areas are hilly or even mountainous. As said,other areas of the US are genuinely flat, not heavily forested, heavily populated, and some of those areas are also covered with open cropland that may stretch for thousands of yards.
Yes, some of that ground really calls for long range rifles, but straight wall cases and low velocity are safer.

No gun is safe if the user doesn't follow the four rules, one of which is for the shooter to know his target and what lies beyond it......
